Money quote:

Sandra Kaiser, Evergreen’s vice president for college relations, claims the low application and enrollment numbers may not be as bad as they look because many students commit to Evergreen “at the last moment.”

So Evergreen is the choice of students who have no where else to go.

Get Woke, Go Broke.

As an uber liberal school, Evergreen College is extremely hostile to white males, so they’re going elsewhere.

The college prevented Whites from speaking. I hope it goes bankrupt and that all the staff has to live on the street.

If you’ve got a ‘D-average’ kid and are still fired up that they attend university....then Evergreen will accept the kid. Even if the kid has an IQ in the 80 to 90 range, with a little bit of help on their ‘project program’ (remember, they don’t do standard tests....you do projects to show your progress)...I think a challenged kid could wrap up a four-year degree here. Now, what a low IQ kid would do with a degree....is beyond me.

Wasn't Rachel Corrie an alum of Evergreen?

If so, they could institute a new tuition plan called the "Flat Rate."

Hey, maybe Evergreen can become one of those online diploma mills. Pay a couple hundred, get a degree.

Considering the (now) national reputation the Evergreen State College has a snowflake indoctrination center, I can’t see anyone with more than a few functioning brain cells spending good money for a degree from there. Nothing like applying for a job in corporate America, with a degree from an anti-capitalist, SJW indoctrination center where you might actually have a white supervisor. Sadly, because it’s a “State” school, the taxpayers of Washington State, will continue to pay to keep this school open.

Tip of the iceberg on financial failures in academia.

Keep your eye on Michigan State University.
Very expensive damage to campus due to spring flooding
+ a half-billion settlement for the gymnasts who were
abused by Dr. Nasser.

FACTS:

Evergreen State College 2017 Enrollment... 3907 students... 58% female, 42% male...
(Was 42-58 in 1971... 50-50 in 1976... and 56-44 by 1988, and ever since.)

Consistently around 10% non-white from 1971 until 1990, climbed slowly to 20% by 2010... and has since shot up to 30% in the last 7 years...

The Evergreen campus is 12% black/mixed, 11% Hispanic, and 3% Asian.
Olympia (home to ESC) is 2% black, 7% Hispanic, and 7% Asian...
Washington State itself is 3% black, 11% Hispanic, and 7% Asian.

Local Whites and Asians need not apply, apparently.

85% of ESC students from WA, 5% from OR, 5% from CA, 1% each from IL, MN, CO and TX... the remaining 1% from the rest of the country.

Total enrollment was around 4300-4500 from 2000 until 2008, shot up to 4881 in 2009, and has declined ever since, down to 3907 in 2017. Today's WSJ says this year's enrollment will be 500-600 fewer than 2017. From 5000 in 2009 to 3000.... a 40% loss... in just 9 years.

ESC's motto is literally “let it all hang out”—omnia extares.

"In 2017, Evergreen received wide attention with protests against professor Bret Weinstein, which eventually ended with him leaving the college and getting $500,000 in compensation." - Wikipedia

Students at Evergreen, founded in the progressive fervor of the 1960s, have no majors or grades and study in small groups, taking interdisciplinary classes where a marine biologist, for instance, might team up with a philosophy professor and a music professor.

Lunatics. Must lead to great jobs.

An Oregon mom with one son at ESC, and a daughter who was set to enroll there until recently: “The way identity politics played out looked to us like a university going from a place of learning to a new type of anti-intellectualism,” [left-leaning] Ms. Shockey later told me. “Free speech and good discourse was lost—and then good teachers,” she added. “This is about where the alt-left seems to be taking us.”

This is a state college....isn’t anyone in the Legislature noticing the financial failure and plummeting enrollment? Evergreen has become like the Lord of the Flies of academia
